Warnings/Precautions

Concerns related to adverse effects:

• Fat redistribution: May cause redistribution of fat (eg, buffalo hump, peripheral wasting with increased abdominal girth, cushingoid appearance).

• Hemolytic anemia: Has been associated with acute hemolytic anemia, sometimes fatal; discontinue if hemolytic anemia occurs.

• Hyperbilirubinemia: Indirect hyperbilirubinemia has been observed frequently and has infrequently been associated with serum transaminase elevations. Do not use concurrently with atazanavir.

• Immune reconstitution syndrome: Patients may develop immune reconstitution syndrome resulting in the occurrence of an inflammatory response to an indolent or residual opportunistic infection during initial HIV treatment or activation of autoimmune disorders (eg, Graves' disease, polymyositis, Guillain-Barré syndrome) later in therapy; further evaluation and treatment may be required.

• Nephrolithiasis/urolithiasis: May cause nephrolithiasis/urolithiasis, sometimes associated with renal impairment, acute renal failure, or pyelonephritis (with or without bacteremia). Adequate hydration is recommended. Risk is substantially higher in pediatric patients versus adults. Signs/symptoms may require temporary interruption of therapy (1 to 3 days) or discontinuation.

• Tubulointerstitial nephritis: Tubulointerstitial nephritis with medullary calcification and cortical atrophy has been observed in patients with asymptomatic severe leukocyturia (>100 cells/high power field). Closely monitor patients with asymptomatic severe leukocyturia and perform frequent urinalysis; further diagnostic evaluation may be warranted. Discontinuation should be considered in all patients with severe leukocyturia.

Disease-related concerns:

• Diabetes: Changes in glucose tolerance, hyperglycemia, exacerbation of diabetes, DKA, and new-onset diabetes mellitus have been reported in patients receiving protease inhibitors.

• Hemophilia A or B: Use with caution in patients with hemophilia A or B; increased bleeding during protease inhibitor therapy has been reported.

• Hepatic impairment: May cause hepatitis, sometimes resulting in fatal hepatic failure; use with caution in patients with underlying hepatic disease, and decrease dosage in patients with hepatic impairment due to cirrhosis.

Warnings: Additional Pediatric Considerations

Incidence of nephrolithiasis and urolithiasis is higher in children than adults, 29% vs 12.4%, respectively. Indirect hyperbilirubinemia (incidence: ~14%) and elevated serum transaminases may occur. Not recommended for use in neonates due to risk of hyperbilirubinemia and kernicterus (HHS [pediatric] 2018).

Reproductive Considerations

Based on the Health and Humans Services (HHS) perinatal HIV guidelines, indinavir (unboosted or boosted with ritonavir) is not one of the recommended antiretroviral agents for use in patients with HIV infection who are trying to conceive.

Viral suppression sustained below the limits of detection with antiretroviral therapy (ART) and modification of therapy (if needed) is recommended in all patients with HIV infection who are planning a pregnancy. Optimization of the health of the person who will become pregnant and a discussion of the potential risks and benefits of ART during pregnancy is also recommended prior to conception. In most cases, recommendations from the HHS perinatal HIV guidelines (based on data obtained from cisgender women) can be applied to transgender and gender diverse people assigned female sex at birth.

Health care providers caring for couples planning a pregnancy when one or both partners are diagnosed with HIV infection may contact the National Perinatal HIV Hotline (1-888-448-8765) for clinical consultation (HHS [perinatal] 2021).

Pregnancy Considerations

Placental transfer in humans is minimal.

Outcome information specific to use in pregnancy is no longer being reviewed and updated in the Health and Humans Services (HHS) perinatal guidelines. The HHS perinatal HIV guidelines do not recommend indinavir (boosted or unboosted with ritonavir) as one of the recommended antiretroviral agents for use during pregnancy and patients who are pregnant should be changed to a preferred or alternative therapy.

Maternal antiretroviral therapy (ART) may be associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, including preterm delivery, stillbirth, low birth weight, and small for gestational age infants. Actual risks may be influenced by maternal factors such as disease severity, gestational age at initiation of therapy, and specific ART regimen; therefore, close fetal monitoring is recommended. Because there is clear benefit to appropriate treatment, maternal ART should not be withheld due to concerns for adverse neonatal outcomes. Long-term follow-up is recommended for all infants exposed to antiretroviral medications; children not diagnosed with HIV infection but who were exposed to ART in utero or as a neonate and develop significant organ system abnormalities of unknown etiology (particularly of the CNS or heart) should be evaluated for potential metabolic dysfunction. Hyperbilirubinemia has been reported following therapy; it is not known if this will occur in neonates following in utero exposure to indinavir. The risk of hepatic dysfunction and gestational diabetes may be increased in pregnant patients taking protease inhibitors. Consider performing the standard glucose screening test earlier in pregnancy in patients who initiated protease inhibitor therapy prior to conception.

ART is recommended for all pregnant people with HIV infection to maximize their health, maintain the viral load below the limit of detection, and reduce the risk of perinatal transmission. Therapy should be individualized following a discussion of the potential risks and benefits of treatment during pregnancy. Patients on fully suppressive regimens prior to pregnancy generally may continue the same regimen considering known pregnancy outcomes and pharmacokinetic data. Monitoring of patients who are pregnant is more frequent than in patients who are not pregnant. ART initiated during pregnancy can be modified after delivery. In most cases, recommendations from the HHS perinatal HIV guidelines (based on data obtained from cisgender women) can be applied to transgender and gender diverse people assigned female sex at birth.

Data collection to monitor pregnancy and infant outcomes following exposure to ART is ongoing. Health care providers are encouraged to enroll patients who are pregnant exposed to antiretroviral medications as early in pregnancy as possible in the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry (1-800-258-4263 or www.APRegistry.com).

Health care providers caring for pregnant patients with HIV infection and their infants may contact the National Perinatal HIV Hotline (1-888-448-8765) for clinical consultation (HHS [perinatal] 2021).

Breastfeeding Considerations

Indinavir is present in breast milk.

In one woman taking indinavir 600 mg and ritonavir 200 mg twice daily for 5 days after delivery, breast milk concentrations of indinavir were 90% to 540% of those in the maternal plasma (actual plasma and breast milk concentrations were not stated) (Colebunders 2005).

Maternal or infant antiretroviral therapy does not completely eliminate the risk of postnatal HIV transmission. In addition, multiclass-resistant virus has been detected in breastfeeding infants despite maternal therapy. In the United States, where formula is usually accessible, affordable, safe, and sustainable, and the risk of infant mortality due to diarrhea and respiratory infections is low, the Health and Human Services (HHS) perinatal HIV guidelines do not recommend breastfeeding for patients with HIV infection when safer infant feeding options are available.

Information is available for counseling and managing patients with HIV infection who are considering breastfeeding (1-888-448-8765). In most cases, recommendations from the HHS perinatal HIV guidelines (based on data obtained from cisgender women) can be applied to transgender and gender diverse people assigned female sex at birth (HHS [perinatal] 2021).

Dietary Considerations

Should be taken without food but with water 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. Administration with lighter meals (eg, dry toast, skim milk, corn flakes) resulted in little/no change in indinavir concentration. If taking with ritonavir, may take with food. Patient should drink at least 48 oz of water daily.

Monitoring Parameters

Monitor viral load, CD4 count, triglycerides, cholesterol, glucose, liver function tests, CBC, urinalysis (patients with severe leukocyturia should be monitored frequently).

Mechanism of Action

Binds to the site of HIV-1 protease activity and inhibits cleavage of viral Gag-Pol polyprotein precursors into individual functional proteins required for infectious HIV. This results in the formation of immature, noninfectious viral particles.

Pharmacokinetics (Adult Data Unless Noted)

Absorption: Administration with a high fat, high calorie diet resulted in a reduction in AUC and in maximum serum concentration (77% and 84% respectively); lighter meal resulted in little or no change in these parameters.

Protein binding, plasma: ~60%

Metabolism: Hepatic via CYP3A4 to inactive metabolites; 6 oxidative and 1 glucuronide conjugate metabolites have been identified

Bioavailability: Good; wide interpatient variability in children: 15% to 50%

Half-life elimination:

Children 4 to 17 years (n=18): 1.1 hours

Adults: 1.8 ± 0.4 hours; hepatic insufficiency: 2.8 ± 0.5 hours

Time to peak: 0.8 ± 0.3 hours

Excretion: Feces (83%; 19.1% as unchanged drug); urine (19%; 9.4% as unchanged drug)

Pharmacokinetics: Additional Considerations (Adult Data Unless Noted)

Hepatic function impairment: Mild to moderate hepatic insufficiency and clinical evidence of cirrhosis decreased metabolism, resulting in an approximate increase in AUC of 60% and increased half-life to approximately 2.8 hours.

Pediatric: AUC and Cmax slightly increased and trough concentrations were considerably lower.
